Apparently I was right! The SDCC exclusive will be Boba and Han in Carbonite!

Well I'm out!

There's no way I'll be able to get one off Hasbo Shop and highly unlikely no one will pick one up for me at SDCC so why even bother starting. I refuse to pay the absurd prices I know this will be going for after the Con.

These look great! Its about time SW is being brought in this scale. I'm definitely going to be picking some of these up! The Sand Trooper looks amazing and I'd like to see more pics of Darth Maul. Making Boba Fett the sdcc exclusive!? I'm gonna have to tap into some connections to secure one, but I'm sure a regular version will be released later on just in case. Bring on Vader, Han, Mara Jade and Chewie!

While this new series is looking good, I'm afraid it comes a few years too late for me. I collected POTF2 figures for a long time and eventually got burned out on all the constant releases of major character with minor scene-specific changes. I already had reservations about starting with a comprehensive line like MOTUC but I can't do it again with such a huge line like Star Wars. I tend to be a completist with my collections so it just makes it too much of a financial burden to even start. Add in that it looks like Boba Fett with Carbonite Han is already going to be a SDCC exclusive that's going to be difficult, and expensive, to get from the start and I'm out. Finally, one of the big perks of the smaller figures were the vehicles and playsets that are just as iconic as the characters. I just don't see Hasbro making any more than a couple of ships like the X-Wing or TIE Fighter at best. I'm pretty sure a Black Series-scale Millennium Falcon, a must-have vehicle IMO, won't ever be made due to the sheer size and costs of it. Forget the Slave-1, AT-AT, Y-Wing, Vader's TIE, Jedi Starfighters, Republic Gunship, AT-ST, or Tatooine Skiffs. Even if they do get made, you'd need a new house to display them, heheh!

Maybe I'll pick up a Bespin Luke and Vader if I see them in stores. Otherwise, I'm going to steer clear of this line...But I am happy for the next generation of collectors that's going to enjoy these. I look forward to seeing cool display pics, at least!

Pixel Dan, I just saw your walkthrough video on your site. The figures look great, really excited about these. I couldn't get any audio on the vid though, anyone else having that problem?

Is the video in Mono, maybe? I've had a few people on YouTube tell me that video is in Mono for some reason. It sounded fine in my headphones while I was editing, so I don't know if it's a YouTube problem or something with the actual video. I'll have to look into it.

These really do look like Hasbro is bringing their A-game, but Toy Fair pretty well convinced me not to start with this line. THere's way too many other things ('66 Batman figures and Batmobile, more Marvel 6" than expected, Fab Four Power Lords) that I'm definitely going to want, so space and money are to limited to get into a 6" Star Wars line.

Great way to ruin another line Hasblow.

Oy. Having to watch and refresh HasbroToyStore constantly all day, every day. We always go on about Mattel, but Hasbro reminds us at times how terrible they can be too.
